It is almost mid-February, but Arsenal could not open the winning record in 2022. How to open? Coach Mikel Arteta’s team could not score the goal. In the end, the goal of the Brazilian defender cut the drought for the Gunners. Gabriel Magalayes’ lone goal gave the side the win over Wolverhampton. Cristiano Ronaldo pushed Manchester United to six and Arsenal rose to fifth place in the list.
Before Thursday night’s match, Arsenal lost to Manchester City, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, and failed to score against Burnley. That team won last night with the only goal of the first half. Again against a team that has not digested a goal in the first 45 minutes of the match in the last four months!
Arsenal took the lead in the 25th minute of the match. Gabriel scored for the team by touching Alexander Lacazette’s flick. Arteta’s disciples went to the break ahead of that one goal.
In the first half, one Gabriel scored a goal and took away the light, in the second half, another Gabriel came to the discussion with a ghostly red card. In the 69th minute of the match, he saw two yellow cards 6 seconds apart and left. Wolverhampton got a throw in at the time, then Gabriel Martinelli prevented their player from taking a throw in. He then fouled Chikinho, who was leading the ball, from behind and saw the second yellow card.
Arsenal did not stop creating opportunities even though they became a team of ten. However, the biggest chance of the match was not possible with the poor finishing of Lakajet.
The opportunity to restore equality also came to the hosts. However, goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale kept the team in the match by blocking the shots of Romain Sais and Leander Dendankar. Arsenal was able to keep a goal difference. The team’s first win of the year has also been taken away.
